MA4ST550

The MA4ST550 series is appropriate for use in VCOs with frequencies within the range of approximately 1-14 GHz where a large capacitance change is required. These diodes are suited for VCOs in missile seekers, telecommunication systems and electronic warfare systems with critical post tuning drift specifications.

The MA4ST550 family of high Q Silicon Hyperabrupt Tuning Varactors is available in a series of low parasitic capacitance microwave packages or in chip form. The MA4ST550 series of diodes is available with junction capacitances of approximately 0.8 pF to 8.2 pF at -4 volts. These diodes have capacitance change ratios as high as 7:1.
